I think the best thing users could probably do is some sort of social media campaign to boycott firefox until this is fixed, or for someone to fork firefox with this fixed and to get users to swap over to that for a while.

i liked this article )

"Why Apple’s Photos announcement should offend you"

What a click-baity article.

I think this sort of thing is dangerous because it's (probably) not data backed and you're really playing with dynamite.

Do we know if this sort of message causes a person to be more or less likely to take their lives? How can you A-B test that?

Does anyone else think your phone telling you it thinks 'you aren't being yourself anymore' could set someone over the edge?

I deleted mine two years back but am trying to get a job at MSFT around august, so I suppose I should now make one, huh?

I can answer this question; because of tax benefits.

BLK overclocking non-k sky lake chips disables ME. You loose out on some power saving/voltage throttling features as well as avx2 instructions, but if you're worried about security ME is disabled.

here's to hoping mine doesnt get banned.

i've been planning on switching off of google products soon, towards fastmail, but haven't gotten the right domain name yet.

banning gas stations isn't a ban on new gas vehicles, it's a ban on all gas vehicles. very different, and the people will never vote for it until we are in a very different place than we are today.

If you ban sale of gas cars in say, California, everyone will just hop over to Oregon/Nevada/Arizona to purchase vehicles.

These languages so similar you can hold a conversation speaking Norwegian while someone else is speaking Swedish or Danish right back at you.

Great test case though as they build an infrastructure to do this with other languages eventually.

When I first saw the ((( ))) meme, it was being used something along the lines of (((triggered))), and I thought it was shorthand for a trigger warning.

Unfortunate to learn how it's used; I thought it was really clever at the time.

    > What's not... allowed... is using the echo to call people to harass and threat a specific person.

Wouldn't the layman interpret all 'echo's as a call to action? Do you hold one user accountable for drawing attention to a user who is now receiving messages from third parties?

I ended up deleting my LinkedIn and now days I send traffic meant to go to LinkedIn towards localhost in my /etc/hosts file.

I'm currently using it; some sites that serve popups can cause the webpage to disappear, prompting the back button, but other than that it works great.

I changed the icon out with the original safari icon though, personal preference, and set it as my system default web browser.

Tesla's are really affordable cars in other places (Norway), due to tax incentives for electric vehicles over vehicles.

I was about to ask if any BSD's handle this better, great to see that NixOS does.

what do you mean by democratizing video editing? are users all giving little input on a larger collaboration? is this wishful buzz-speak or are these things (expression, empowerment) now synonymous with democracy? (-:

p.s. can't wait to try out what you've built when I get to my desktop.

I think we can take someone at their word when they say:

    Sorry about that - this is a known bug we're trying to fix.
    This is no way intentional to try to get you to sign up

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity. (-:

I'm sure this bug will be fixed shortly, right bakztfuture?

Through some off the record interviews with the music composer for 0x10c it seems like Microsoft owns it now. I'm really hoping that someone convinces them to make it.

If I recall correctly the part of the system this is running on is independant from anything important and only does media controls. It also speaks to the rest of the car over a network interface.

But still not quite for the faint of heart.

I'm a big political hack currently, I've been watching CNN's Race for the White House and taking a lot of more political history courses (HSTAA 212 U.S. Military History, etc).

I certainly don't agree with the direction a lot of these guy's moral compasses were pointing in, but boy did sure did get things done (most of the time).

I hold Teddy and Eisenhower in high esteem, but need to read up more about Monroe.

hahaha touché. I was kinda peeved someone asked me on what grounds I like something (what grounds are needed, we like what we like?) and I thought the best way to turn that around was to ask GFK about what they like (-:

I'm glad you asked. The history of the 1824 & 1828 presidential election is really interesting.

The first four U.S. Presidents were founding fathers, so the election of 1824 was the first time it was a completely different generation vying for what direction we should take the country in. John Quincy Adams, son of President John Adams, seemed like he fit the bill. He was secretary of state, and Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe all had served as Secretary of State before taking the mantel.

Andrew Jackson was cut from a different cloth as the first five presidents. Not wealthy/educated/elite/eastern, Andrew Jackson instead was a frontiers man and a war hero.

By the time the votes were tallies, Jackson won the popular vote, but since the race was split between more than two candidates and he only had a plurality but not a majority (more votes than anyone else, but less than 50%), congress got to decide the next President.

In a move of backroom bargaining, John Q. Adams offers the then speaker of the house Henry Clay a position as the 9th Secretary of State in exchange for whipping the votes. It worked.

Screwed out of an election that should have been his, Andrew Jackson held his tongue and his temper and instead looked towards the next election where he knocked the sitting president out of office.

Who are your favorite founding fathers of the U.S.A.?

I really like Andrew Jackson, it's too bad he's going instead of Hamilton.

Can't believe they want to take Lincoln off the 5$ bill though. Why can't we just add new denominations of currency into the system? Bring back the 500$/1000$/5000$/10000$ bills? Perhaps instead add a 25$ bill and a 200$/250$ bill?

most of my settings came over through iCloud - I don't think last browser session or extensions are very important for them to support pulling across.

replace stickman with Kik and the problem still exists.

I think Patreon is a tough sell for 'long-format' journalism because there's such a large gap between stories.

It's too bad they've (like many others) chosen to be a derivative work of Ubuntu rather than Debian.

It's too bad John felt he needed to seek treatment to 'cure' his autism.

I was diagnosed when I was 17, and I get to interact with a lot of other students on the spectrum every day at my school. There are a few students that believe autism is something to overcome, and that if they try hard enough perhaps one day they won't be 'autistic'. Most of us are comfortable with the fact that we're different.
